Abstract: The kinetics were studied for the thermal isomerization of meso-diethyl 2,3-dicyano-2,3-di (p-Xsubstituted phenyl) succinates (X = H) in melten state and the EPRspectra of the intermediates (X = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl, NO2) were observed.The central carbon-carbon bond of the five isomers was homolysed to give ethyl α-cyano-α-ethoxycarbonyl-p-substituted benzyl radicals.The structures of the intermediates were determined by compute simulation.The kinetic results indicate that the equilibrium constant Kreduced as the rise of the reaction temperature.The active parameters were found to be ΔHdl-meao= - 18.02 kJ/mol, ΔSdl-meao= - 26.51 J/mol·K, ΔH = 151.78 kJ/mol, ΔS = 71.64 J/mol·K.dl-Isomer is more stable than the corresponding meso-iscmer.
